Chapter 2: More of the Truth

"Ogre did you heard about the Princess of Solaria destroying Alfea?" a witch had asked.

"Yes, witch, I had heard of it. Isn't her name Stella?" the ogre had asked.

Another witch nodded. She decided to join the conversation. "Yes, she goes by that name. Also, her parents are divorced. What do you think she's doing now?"

"Probably she's crying in her rich little room," the third witch had said. "Well, at least we could go to Solaria and steal some items there."

"Witches, I really want to see smiles on your faces…I could probably find her and get that ring of hers! During the finals, everybody had to study about precious little items of fairies and witches. I heard that the dragon flame is inside that ring!" the ogre had said.

"Oh, is that so? Well, I want you to find that fairy! Get her ring and her powers now, and once we are truly powerful, we will make you powerful also. So, are you going now?" the first witch asked.

"Yes, I will go…" Within that sentence, the ogre had disappeared.

The princess of Solaria was strolling around a forest after she had used her scepter to escape from Solaria. She wasn't exactly happy with her choice, but at least she could finally be free from everything that was in her way.

As she was walking, the sun was in her face, making her smile. The sun wasn't that compared to the one at Solaria, but at least the sky was beautiful.

"It's so beautiful here…I wish I could live in a place like this, but except for less trees, a three story house, a swimming pool, a garden, and…" Stella had said, but she decided to stop talking after she heard noises from the bushes.

Stella quickly turned around and her gold locks were in the air. It quickly went down and she raised an eyebrow after the noise had stopped. She continued walking and rolling her eyes.

"Maybe that was just a squirrel or something." Stella says while walking. She heard a chuckle, and Stella quickly turned around. "Okay, whatever you are, goes out!"

"As you say, Princess."

Stella quickly took steps back after seeing the figure. She saw a huge yellow ogre looking at her. He had overalls on and there was a creepy smile on his face.

"Eww! What are you?" Stella shouted.

"Hey, you don't have to be mean to an ogre like me! I'm Knut the Ogre, and I'm going to get your scepter and powers away!" he replied.

"Oh, you mean this?" Stella asked. She removed her ring off of her polished finger, and the ring had turned into a scepter. "Well you aren't getting this or my powers!" She had pointed the scepter at Knut, and sun powers went out of the scepter.

His back had hit a tree, and leaves were free. Knut then went up and wiped some leaves and dust off of him. "Well, you're going to regret that, Princess. Minions, go attack the Princess of Solaria!"

Stella laughed. "Minions…you actually have them? You're kidding, right?" Red creatures had appeared nowhere. They went toward to Stella, and she dropped her scepter. "Help, I need help anybody!"

"This is too easy!" Knut chuckled. He went forward the scepter but then a blue bunny had appeared.

"Kiko, come back!" a young voice had said. The blue bunny then saw Knut, and his eyes widened, he quickly went next to Stella.

Out of the woods, a redhead had appeared. She saw Stella and her blue bunny, Kiko, who were going to be killed. She saw the yellow ogre, Knut. She quickly got a heavy piece of wood and threw it at Knut. He then turned around, and he had fire in his eyes.

"Who are you, a poor little girl? Are you trying to save this beautiful girl? Well, that's not going to work." Knut said. She quickly went in front of Stella and Kiko, and she pointed her arms at her. Fire was in her arms, and the ogre quickly fell. "What happened? I need to report this. Minions, let's leave."

He clapped and the minions left with him. Kiko was hiding in Stella's blonde hair. The redhead went to Stella and saw her. Stella fainted.

"I don't know what happened! Kiko wandered off and I found her! Maybe she was lost or something!" the redhead complained.

"We don't know who she even is! Why you did even went to her? You could have left her!" the father said.

"I'm not a bad person! I don't leave people in the middle of the woods!" the redhead protested.

Stella quickly moved and her eyes opened. She stood up and placed her hand on her head. "Where am I?"

"You're at my house. This yellow thing came and was about to eat you! Who are you?" the redhead said.

"I'm Stella, the Princess of Solaria. I came here just to be free and all…" Stella says.

"To be free from what?" the redhead had asked.

"Look, we need to call the police! I'm calling the police!" the father said. He got up and Stella rolled her eyes. She wiggled her finger and pointed at the telephone. The telephone had turned into vegetables. "What? What happened?"

"I think you should go to my daughter's room," the mother said. "You could get better rest in there. I'll cook soup while you socialize with our daughter."

"Oh, thank you very much!" Stella says with a grin on her face.

"I'm Bloom…a normal girl in this town we call Gardenia. It's currently summer. That's probably all I can say about myself and what's happening right now in my life," the redhead, Bloom, said.

"Are you sure you aren't a fairy? You have powers! I could feel them already…" Stella says.

"I'm not a fairy…okay, that's enough about me. What happened again?" Bloom asks with a smile on her face.

"Well, okay, another repeat is fine with me. But anyways, I decided to run away from my life because I had destroyed my school, and everybody thinks I'm stupid! But I'm not stupid! The reason why I had destroyed my school was because of my parents' stupid divorce! I could have passed freshmen year and continue on with my friends!" Stella shouted.

"Calm down, Stella. You're not stupid, and it isn't your fault that you had destroyed your school. What really happened at your parents' divorce? You don't have to tell me if it's that personal though…"

"Will you tell anyone?" Stella asked. Bloom shook her head.

"Nope, and I promise I won't, since you're already a friend of mine," Bloom says with a smile on her face.

"Okay…thank you very much…Bloom!"

"No problem! Okay, I'll pay attention."

"The reason why my parents had a divorced was because my mom was tired of my dad. She was sick of him. You know why? It was because he was cheating on her with other disgusting ladies for his money. My mother found out on my sixteenth birthday, and she was sick of it. She noticed tons of ladies in the ballroom, even though she didn't invite them. She asked them who were they, and they said they were 'the king's love.' My mom was really shocked. After a few months she asked my dad why he was cheating on her. He said that they were just friends, but my mom didn't believe it. They kept on fighting and fighting and I was sick of it. So this week, they were now divorced, and my heart broke. I thought they were perfect for each other…and they even made me. With that problem in my mind, I failed. The school was destroyed…all because of me." Stella says.

Bloom felt very sorry. She had pity on her.

"Stella, I'm really sorry. I would have done the same thing if I were you. Divorces are really hard, and you would be really depressed if you were included. Don't feel sad, I'll do anything to make you feel better. Was there anything else on your mind besides that accident?" Bloom asked.

Stella shook her head. "No…there wasn't…that was the only thing on my mind…"

"You should have another thing on your mind! It starts with a b and ends with oy!"

"Boy?" Stella asked. "What do you—"

Before Stella could finish her sentence, there was an explosion downstairs. Bloom and Stella quickly went downstairs and saw two monsters. One of them was the one they saw earlier and it was a blue thing.

"Stella! Who are they?" Bloom says while she tries to fix the furniture.

"They're creatures from Cloud Tower…"

Well, there's a chapter to one of my newest stories. I know that it's short and not that interesting, but at least you get to know why Stella's parents were divorce. I don't give fudge about updating. At least you got something from me. I don't know if I'll update any other story. I'll try, though. Here's a little thing about me. The whole paragraph that Stella said is actually from me. Yes, that thing is all about me. Young ladies were hanging out with my dad and they only liked him for my dad's money. My mom was really angry, and she almost had a divorce. My dad promised he won't hang out with them anymore, since they were from my home country, but he now "texted" them. I really hate my dad for doing such a stupid thing. I even have four step siblings. And they're female dogs. I really hate my family life. At least I still have my mom, who will always be there for me.
